There's a German - quite unknown - brand out here which is called "Kosmetik Kosmo" (creates nail polishes, eyeshadows, ...) and they offer a surprise box every month. The March box contains 6 nail polishes à 8ml. The theme was "flakes and holo", so it contains three flakes nail polishes and three holos. The holos aren't true holos - it's more a slight holo effect.

"Barbierella" is a true barbie pink with fine holo shimmer. It contains holo particle to create the "scattered" effect but it isn't strong enough to be a true scattered holo. It is quite pretty in sunlight while it's a barbie pink with fine silver-coloured shimmer in shadows. The drying time is very good and it's opaque after two coats. The finish is somehow uneven (but not as strong as a polish with sand finish would be) but a top coat evens it very well. Speaking of the top coat: the effect becomes stronger with one. The application is okay if you can candle a big cap but a small, thin brush. The nail polish looks globby in the bottle but it isn't globby at all while painting the nails with it.

For a comparison: the middle finger shows a coat of "Polarlicht" (by Kosmetik Kosmo; it's basically the colourless version of "Barbierella") while the ring finger shows a coat of "Diamond Holo Top Coat" by F.U.N. Lacquer. It's quite clear to see which is a true holo effect. ;-)
